my favourite things/ they still live beneath the step

they still livebeneath the stepand as I venture outfor my midnight watchthey remember me and come out of hidinggrandaddies princesold mamas

tonight one so little it could have hidden
away with ten others on my smallest nailthe rain so fresh and light it tagged along to hear the retelling of tales of old

of little girls and boysand wagon rides
and always the tucking away afterwhere they all belongedbeneath the step

Sam and Bluejoined the paradethe two deer stay hidden beneath the poplarsknowing I saw them tootheir hearts were inthey had already paraded by us for a week nowunafraidsatisfied with the peaceand rest this land affords to all who cometo playin themidnight hour

my dear Andrea friend~ I keep you close to heart in my midnight jaunts... always smiling. I still see you joyous on the piano each Sunday setting our hearts a dancing, or busy with our little ones in sunday School~ so long ago yet the picture of it all still so clear... so glad for your new grandson... I have so many joyous thoughts on my evening walks...so much to thank God for.

About Me

Jesus said to follow Him and He would make us fishers of men...
I call myself the "fisherlady",
in Spanish, "la pescadora".
I will gladly take His Word and pray His Holy Spirit draws in many for his Kingdom. His Love, is the bait, and when one is drawn in, it is catch/release, into the abundant 'new life' God has awaiting for all those who put their trust in Him.
